PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED TO ADDRESS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSALS, AUGUST 10, 2004

Skagit County is considering six proposed amendments to the Skagit County Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Map, known as the 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendment proposals. These amendments were submitted to the County by the owners of the affected properties, including three individuals, a school district, a city and a town. The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the proposals in Hearing Room C of the County Administration Building, Tuesday, August 10, 2004 beginning at 7 p.m., to be followed by Planning Commission deliberations and ultimately review and final consideration by the Board of County Commissioners.

On July 8, 2004, The Planning and Permit Center released information on these proposed amendments for review and comment by the public and local and state agencies. This includes a combined report analyzing the likely environmental impacts of the proposals and their consistency with the County Comprehensive Plan. The documents are available at www.skagitcounty.net or at the Skagit County Planning and Permit Center containing additional details on the proposals and for the Planning Commission public hearing.
If after reviewing these documents you have further questions, please contact: Jeroldine Hallberg, Associate Planner, (360) 336-9410, ext. 3175, jeroldineh@co.skagit.wa.us.
